Biography
Dr Danyang Ying is a Principal Research Consultant / Scientist in CSIRO Melbourne, with a PhD in Materials Science and Process Engineering (2000) and BEng in Chemical Engineering and Chemical Machinery (1982). He was a Science Leader in Hortresearch (a Crown Research Institute of New Zealand) and a research engineer in the Research Institute of Chemical Machinery in China before he joining CSIRO.
His current research interests include food extrusion; stabilisation, microencapsulation and delivery of bioactives (eg. polyunsaturated fatty acids, polyphenolics, probiotics) for functional food and nutraceutical applications; transformation of agricultural and horticultural by-products into nutritious and functional food ingredients; process development, computational modelling, integration and commercialisation.
He is the receiver of 2018 "National Awards for Excellence - Industry Impact Award" and 2018 "AusVeg Vic and Wolfdene Awards for Excellence - Industry Impact Award". He received 2020 “CSIRO Director’s Award – Entrepreneurship Award” for the team work on plant protein meat analogue technology development and commercial success, and 2024 "CSIRO Sir Ian McLennan Impact from Science and Engineering Award" for delivering outstanding impact through the innovative integration of science and engineering to develop a digitally enabled intelligent extrusion platform.
Other Interests
• Extrusion – understanding the impact of extrusion on the physical, chemical and nutritional properties of food materials and apply the knowledge to the development of new ingredients and functional food products.
• Functional Ingredients and Bioactives – developing new ingredients and products for health and nutrition, including processing, stabilization of bioactives and value addition to edible biomass and by-products from food processing, and conversion into stable functional ingredients.
• Microencapsulation and delivery – developing new materials, processes and formulations to protect and target delivery of bioactives (polyphenols, probiotics, polyunsaturated fatty acids, etc.) during processing, storage and consumption.
• Formulation and Process Development – assist commercial clients in the development of new formulation and processes for functional foods and nutraceutical products.
• Powder Technology – understanding fluid bed particle spray coating by experimental and numerical simulation of the particle movement and the spray coating development.
